I believe Jimmy's confusion results primarily as follows:
=46rom NRPM 8.3:
> 8.3. Transfers between Specified Recipients within the ARIN Region
>=20
> In addition to transfers under section 8.2, IPv4 numbers resources and =
ASNs may be transferred according to the following conditions.
> Conditions on source of the transfer:
> The source entity must be the current registered holder of the IPv4 =
address resources, and not be involved in any dispute as to the status =
of those resources.
> The source entity will be ineligible to receive any further IPv4 =
address allocations or assignments from ARIN for a period of 12 months =
after a transfer approval, or until the exhaustion of ARIN's IPv4 space, =
whichever occurs first.
> The source entity must not have received a transfer, allocation, or =
assignment of IPv4 number resources from ARIN for the 12 months prior to =
the approval of a transfer request. This restriction does not include =
M&A transfers.
> The minimum transfer size is a /24
> Conditions on recipient of the transfer:
> The recipient must demonstrate the need for up to a 24-month supply of =
IP address resources under current ARIN policies and sign an RSA.
> The resources transferred will be subject to current ARIN policies.
Note that the minimum /24 restriction he so often references is a =
restriction on the minimum that a transferor can provide. It does not =
mean that there are not more specific restrictions on recipients.
It is quite clear in the policy, as quoted above, that the only =
reference to a /24 is in the section controlling the source of the =
transfer.
The only exception to the rest of ARIN policy for the recipient is that =
it allows a 24 month supply rather than the current 3 month (ISP) or 12 =
month (End-User) limitation when obtaining resources from the free pool.
